'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the last ten nights began Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept awake at night (for prayer and devotion), wakened his family, and prepared himself to observe prayer (with more vigour).  

مسلم:١١٧٤حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ صُبَيْحٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ أَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ وَجَدَّ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ

The Prophet ﷺ had heightened devotion during the final ten nights of Ramadan

bukhari:2024ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh > Sufyān > Abū Yaʿfūr > Abū al-Ḍuḥá > Masrūq > ʿĀʾishah

With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet ﷺ used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work hard) and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers.  

البخاري:٢٠٢٤حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ  

nasai:1639Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Yazīd > Sufyān > Abū Yaʿfūr > Muslim > Masrūq > ʿĀʾishah

"Aishah may Allah (SWT) be pleased with her, said: ' When the last ten nights of Ramadan began, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed up at night (for prayer) and he woke his family up and tightened his waist-wrap.'"  

النسائي:١٦٣٩أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ

عَائِشَةُ ؓ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْعَشْرُ أَحْيَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّيْلَ وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ

When the last ten days of Ramadan came, the Prophet ﷺ kept vigil and prayed during the whole night, and tied the wrapper tightly, and awakened his family (to pray during the night). Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu Ya'fur is 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Ubaid b. Nistas.  

أبو داود:١٣٧٦حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ أَنَّ سُفْيَانَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نِسْطَاسٍ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ أَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَأَبُو يَعْفُورٍ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نِسْطَاسٍ
ibnmajah:1768ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad al-Zuhrī > Sufyān > Ibn ʿUbayd b. Nisṭās > Abū al-Ḍuḥá > Masrūq > ʿĀʾishah

“When the last ten days of Ramadan began, the Prophet ﷺ used to stay up at night, tighten his waist- wrap, and wake up his family (to pray).”  

ابن ماجة:١٧٦٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نِسْطَاسٍ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to revive the night and wake up his family when the last ten days of Ramadan entered, and he would tighten his waistcloth. Sufyan said, and one of the scholars said.
